Justin Bieber is no longer an admirer of the howling crowd. As he sang "Sorry," the 22-year-old singer ended his Birmingham, England concert on Monday to make an unusual request to his fanatics.
"Can you guys do me a favor? Can you guys just relax for about two seconds?" the Biebs asked after he was disturbed in the middle of his story. "I get it, I get it, but I'm like two feet away from you. And I can hear you. I appreciate all the love, it's amazing. But can you show it in a different way? Screaming is just so obnoxious."
The audience persisted the cheer, with some even shouted "boos." Apparently, he is a little bit annoyed but remained calm, Bieber implied that the crowd can "scream" after songs to show their admiration and then hush a little to listen to the music and hear his voice.

Then, he continued, "I get it, it's been in our blood and it's ingrained - you go to a concert and you scream and stuff. But if you could just scream after the song, enjoy the song, and then take a chill pill for a second and listen to me speak. I don't feel like I'm being heard sometimes, and it gets a little frustrating. When I'm speaking, can you guys not scream at the top of your lungs?"
"If you happen to see me out somewhere know that I'm not gonna take a picture. I'm done taking pictures," he wrote on Instagram at the time. "It has gotten to the point that people won't even say hi to me or recognize me as a human. I feel like a zoo animal, and I wanna be able to keep my sanity."
The Biebs also deleted his Instagram account in August after asking fans to respect his romance with then-girlfriend, Sophia Richie. The pair have since split, but the singer has not returned to the social media platform.
"In fact uncertain about @justinbieber tonight now after how impolite he's been to his fans," one user wrote. Another user described the incident as paying "£70 to see Justin Bieber to come out, mime and be rude to everyone for screaming."
